Blogging and a cup of tea to end a very long day

Today was one of the longest days I have had in a very, very long time. I woke up at 5 this morning to be at work by 6:30.. Hawea, the 5 month old that I nanny, was in the best mood. ever. Thank goodness! We had such a good morning. I took her out for the day to get a Starbuck and then to visit some of my family where she got to play with my 8 month old cousin. So cute! I got back to meet the parents at their house by 12 to drop off Hawea, but it ended up that they needed me to stay cuz they both had so much they had to do.. I was there until 4:45, so a little over 10 hours. Im soo exhausted! I was like the mom today.. crazy. Thank goodness I love my job and get paid well :) So anyway, other than that, I figured Id write about my week :) This past Sunday was my 18th birthday, and its been the most memorable so far!

The piano vid kinda sucks.. that was my first time playing it all the way through. Ill get a better one soon :)

I dont like to go all out for my birthday, so we kept it simple. Dinner with the family plus Natalie and Jon, and then cake and ice cream after with my grandparents :)

I was surprised not only with the piano from my parents, but also a present from Jon.... tickets for the best seats at Spreckles Theater to see the sold out Fleet Foxes concert!!!!!!!! So. so. so. excited. Back to reality. Ive been really busy keeping up with school and starting to pick up more work nannying.

Im considering being a small group leader for junior highers at my church on Tuesday nights, but looking at my schedule I just dont know how to fit it in along with already being in my own small group Wednesday nights and starting to go to the Jordan on Thursday nights... so much church... haha but I really love it.

One of my best friends is 20 weeks pregnant and today I decided, after long of being on the fence about our friendship, I need to just be there for her. I asked the mom that I nannied for today if she had any maternity clothes that she doesnt want anymore so I can bring them to my friend :) Her and her new husband rented an apartment together so Im planning on going over there soon to visit them and drop off the clothes. Ive been praying about this a lot, and I know that God wants me to be involved in her life and that baby's life. Even though she is only 18, I know she is going to make such a wonderful mother to her son.. I cant wait to watch him grow up.

I suppose thats all for now... hope everyone is well!
